I’ve had this recipe for Oriental Chex Mix stashed away for some time now. I found it in a Pillsbury Bake-Off magazine, and thought it sounded like a fun variation of the traditional Chex Mix…which I love. I added a tad more butter, more pretzels, and less chow mein noodles…to suit my taste.
Alright, to throw this together, you will need: pretzel sticks, chow mein noodles, Wasabi peas, salted peanuts, Corn Chex, Oriental Ramen seasoning, butter, soy sauce, and garlic powder.
Heat the oven to 250 degrees. Grab a big bowl, add 4 cups Corn Chex, 4 cups Bugles, 1 cup chow mein noodles, 2 cups pretzel sticks, and 1 cup of peanuts. Stir together.
To prepare the seasoning, combine 8 TBS melted butter, with 1 tsp. garlic powder, 2 TBS. soy sauce, and 1 pkg of the seasoning, removed from a package of Oriental Ramen Noodles. Mix well and pour over the dry ingredients. Stir together.
Spread the seasoned mixture into a sheet pan at bake at 250 for about 50 minutes. Shuffle/stir the ingredients around, half way through the cooking time.
After it cools, dump it into a serving bowl, and mix in a handful, or so, of Wasabi peas. You can usually find Wasabi peas in the Oriental section of your grocery store. I found mine at Wal-Mart. FYI, they’re pretty dang spicy. At least, the ones I had were. But, they added a nice kick and a little color.
